Wake it up without getting up.
WakeMATE sends a real Wake-on-LAN signal from your phone over your Wi-Fi, then hands you a trackpad, keyboard, and power switch for your computer the moment it's back online.
iOS & Android app · Windows companion today · not yet on the App Store
Your computer only helps you when it's on.
So it either stays powered on all the time, quietly burning electricity and making noise — or it sleeps, and every file, dev environment, or game session on it stays out of reach until you physically walk over and press the button.
WakeMATE turns it back into a reach, not a room.
Let it sleep or power all the way off. When you need it, open WakeMATE, tap Wake, and a real Wake-on-LAN signal brings it up over your Wi-Fi — no walking over, no always-on power draw, no software left running on a machine that's supposed to be resting.
One list of machines. One remote for all of them.
Save each computer once — WakeMATE remembers its name, MAC address, and network details so waking it later is a single tap.
Every saved machine shows its live status at a glance — online and ready, or asleep and one tap from waking up.
Once it's online, the same screen becomes a trackpad, keyboard, media remote, and power switch.
Four steps, then it's just a tap.
Setup happens once per computer. After that, waking and driving it is as fast as opening the app.
Install WakeMATE Companion
Download the Windows tray app. A clean install makes it discoverable through Windows Private network profiles.
Pair inside WakeMATE
Open the tray QR code, scan it with WakeMATE's in-app scanner, then approve the request on your PC. Pairing stays local.
Wake it from your phone
Tap Wake and WakeMATE sends a genuine Wake-on-LAN signal over your network — even if the computer is fully powered off.
Take the wheel
Once it's online, move the cursor, type, launch shortcuts, adjust media, or put it back to sleep — all from your phone.
Your phone and your computer, properly introduced.
WakeMATE is really two small apps that pair with each other: one on your phone, one running quietly on the computer you want to reach.
WakeMATE app
Lives on your iPhone or Android phone. Keeps your saved computers, sends the wake signal, and turns into a remote once a machine is online.
WakeMATE Companion
A lightweight Windows tray app. On a clean install, its LAN API and UDP discovery are available through Windows Private network profiles. Input and power control stay locked until you approve a phone on this PC.
Download for WindowsPair with a QR code
Open the QR code from the Companion's tray menu and scan it inside WakeMATE. The app reads it directly — no website handoff or cloud relay.
Approve each phone
The QR's fresh session token can only start pairing. Once you approve the request on your PC, that phone gets its own credential, which you can revoke at any time.
Built for the moments you actually need it.
No feature here exists to fill a grid. Each one solves a specific reason your computer wasn't reachable a minute ago.
Real Wake-on-LAN, not a gimmick
A genuine magic-packet wake signal, sent directly from your phone over Wi-Fi — it works even when the computer is completely powered off.
A full remote, not a shortcut
A trackpad-style surface for the mouse, a full keyboard with platform-aware shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and media transport and volume controls.
Power, handled carefully
Sleep, restart, shut down, or log off — every destructive action asks you to confirm first, so nothing happens by accident.
One tap from your Home Screen
iOS Home Screen and Control Center widgets put Wake a single tap away, without even opening the app.
Small moments, solved.
These aren't hypotheticals — they're the reason WakeMATE exists, all happening on the same Wi-Fi network you're already on.
The gaming rig
Wake it from the couch the moment you decide to play, so it's already booted by the time you sit down.
The home workstation
Bring it online from bed before your first call, instead of walking to the office to press one button.
The home server
Keep it powered off between uses and wake it on demand — no fans running around the clock for files you touch twice a week.
The forgotten machine
Remembered you left it on after you'd already sat down with a laptop? Put it back to sleep without getting up.
Your computer stays yours.
WakeMATE doesn't ask for an account or route commands through our servers. Your phone and computer connect directly over the local network you already trust.
Reachable for setup, locked for control
A clean install enables the LAN API and discovery only through Windows Private network profiles. Input and power commands stay off until you approve pairing on the PC.
One credential per phone
The QR's one-time session token is only for pairing. Each approved phone gets its own revocable credential — no sign-up or identity provider.
Built for your own network
The phone talks directly to your PC over your Wi-Fi or LAN. The website provides the download, but there is no cloud relay in the pairing or control path.
Nothing destructive without asking
Restart, shut down, and log-off commands all require a confirmation in the app before they're sent.

Questions, answered plainly.
Does my computer need to already be on for this to work?
No. Waking a computer uses Wake-on-LAN, a real networking feature built into most PCs, which works even when the machine is fully powered off — as long as it's plugged in and Wake-on-LAN is enabled in its network settings.
Does WakeMATE work over the internet, or only at home?
Today, WakeMATE talks directly to your computer over your own Wi-Fi or LAN. The website is only where you download the Companion; QR pairing stays between the app and your PC, with no cloud relay. Waking or controlling a computer from outside your local network isn't supported yet.
What do I actually need to install?
The WakeMATE app can send Wake-on-LAN directly once you've saved a computer's details. Install WakeMATE Companion on a Windows PC to discover it automatically, pair securely, and use remote mouse, keyboard, media, and power controls.
Is it safe to leave remote control turned on?
A clean Windows install enables the local API and UDP discovery through Windows Private network profiles, but input and power commands stay off until you scan the current tray QR inside WakeMATE and approve the request on the PC. The QR session token only starts pairing; each approved phone receives its own revocable credential.
Which computers and phones does WakeMATE support?
The mobile app can save and wake compatible computers on your network. Full Companion pairing and remote control ship for Windows today; macOS and Linux Companion builds are still developer previews, not finished consumer apps. WakeMATE runs on iOS and Android, while Home Screen and Control Center wake shortcuts are iOS-only for now.
When can I actually download it?
WakeMATE isn't in the App Store or Google Play yet. Join the waitlist above and we'll let you know the moment it's available.
